For this week's art 21 response, I've decided to focus on my favorite artist Marina Abramović.
In history, she is one of the first people to use performance art and translate it into visual form, utilizing her body, testing out her limits as she goes with each piece, in some cases risking her own life. And over her active years this has both fascinated and also repulsed a lot of viewers. A big representation piece in her work is the theme of life and death, and it's what she talks about in her video. I adore Marina, because in a lot of her artwork I see myself, as someone who is constantly looking for meaning and spiritual substance in the work, and often find peace within it.
